'BAM'

"Uhh..."

A group of bullies ganged up on a boy and were hitting him continuously.

The boy rarely even resisted. He had his specs on which were snatched and crushed to pieces.

His face was already swollen while he was covered with bruises.

His nose was also pretty badly hurt and he was bleeding.

He barely even opened his eyes due to fear and just kept on lying while the 4 bullies were bullying him by either stamping him with their legs or by slapping him or punching him.

"Haha! That was refreshing!", said a tall boy with a muscular body.

He had yellowish-blonde hair with a hairband on it. His ears were pierced with earrings.

He looked like a typical bully with fierce eyes.

The others who were standing beside him weren't as muscular and tall as him.

They were just like the hyenas that ate the leftover of a lion or wolf.

Just because of some number and power, they thought that they were strong and thus continued to bully the boy.

'Ding Dong... Ding Dong...'

The school bell rang and as soon as the bullies heard this, they thought about returning to the class.

Although they never once took the bell seriously, it was rather a miracle for them to do so this time probably because it was the P.E. class.

*cough cough*

The boy coughed some amount of blood and then forcefully tried to stand up.

He looked like a worm before and even after standing up, he looked the same way.

That was probably because he was quite short. He could hardly be seen in a crowd of many people and that showed how shrimp of a boy he was.

Even his mass wasn't much and he looked basically like a stick that would fly off just by the blow of a simple wind.

'It hurts...', he thought in his mind when he tried to touch his ribs.

He then bent his body a bit and was about to pick up the glasses which he was wearing when suddenly another hand appeared right in front of him which picked the glasses up.

"Huh...?", he was shocked to see someone else on the rooftop even after the bell rang and probably thought that it was the bullies who had returned.

But when he took a look at the person after lifting his gazes, he found that a sweet girl was standing right in front of him.

"R... Ria?", he said with a rather surprised tone when he looked at her.

"Here...", she passed on the broken glass to him.

The boy takes the glass and then wears it even though the lens of one side was completely shattered while the other side had a crack on it.

"Rin... shouldn't you at least try to fight back?", she asked.

"...", Rin had no answer to this and he just tried to walk away towards the class.

However, Ria held his wrist as he was trying to escape and asked again, "Why do you just turn a blind eye to this? Just let me help once! I'll tell father and he will..."

"Shut up..."

"Eh...? Rin...?"

"I said shut up! Just leave me alone!", Rin said with a raised voice with his gaze lowered.

"...", this hurt Ria and she also lowered her head.

She was about to cry when she controlled herself and just walked away while saying, "Fine... do what you want!"

"...", Rin was now the only person who was standing on the rooftop.

Ria, who had deep black hair and a charming look, was Rin's childhood friend.

She was the daughter of the chairman of a huge business corporation that donated a lump sum amount of money to the school that they were attending.

Rin had been bullied since the start and Ria always protected him, but now that he was 16 years old and was a bit mature, he felt bad to be protected by a girl.

That's why he asked her to stay out of his way because he didn't want to show his pathetic side to her.

"Ya, this is for the better...", he said and then slowly walked downstairs while taking support and instead of going back to class, he ended up in the infirmary.

"Miss...", that was all he said the moment he entered the infirmary when the doctor named Reena rushed to his aid right away.

"Rin?", she asked and then gave him support and helped him to walk to the bed.

"Not again...", she right away brought the first aid kit and then treated him.

It did sting him a bit but he showed no sign of resisting it probably because the minute pain from the antiseptic was too less when compared to the bullying which he suffered.

"Your glasses are broken again!", she said while slowly placing his specs on the table.

"Ya...", Rin didn't say anything else and just had his head lowered.

She was slowly wiping all the dust that was on Rin's face.

Moreover, she did it quite gently as if she cared about him a lot.

"Rin...", she couldn't say anything else and just looked at him with eyes that were filled with pity.

"Sigh, just rest here, I'll inform the teacher that you won't be coming to the class."

Right after saying that she stood up and walked towards his classroom to tell the teacher while Rin just slept on the bed that was provided.

He covered his eyes with his left arm while crying and facing the ceiling.

'How...'

"Why...? Why did I end up in such a state?", he asked himself while sobbing.

All he could do was clench his fist and grit his teeth.

He kept crying and lying on the bed for a while and due to tiredness, he ended up sleeping on the bed.

"..."

"Huff huff..."

"Run!", man people were running away as far as they could while shouting and screaming at the top of their voice.

"Monster!!!"

"The monster is back!"

"..."

"No! Please... don't kill me..."

'Slash'

'Drip Drip'

'Crunch'

"Aooooo!"
